Yet another week done...congrats!! How does it feel...are you making progress?

I know the talk was that you'd get your neuro and neuro psych evals while at Spaulding...has that happened yet? Where do they say the deficits are and has that changed your care at all?

Sam had a better day at school today. I think allowing him some time to cry and talk last night helped him.

I am excited...I got invited to moderate a session at a conference in Florida in February dealing with MBA curriculum reform. They will pay my expenses! They are going to have someone from Yale and someone from RPI talking about what they've done with their programs. They wanted me to talk because of my OBTC presentations but since I don't work at RPI anymore I couldn't exactly represent RPI's interests any longer. But they still wanted me as the moderator which is really cool! I recommended they contact Victor Vroom as the rep from Yale...your buddy Victor!! I should have it all firmed up in about 2 weeks.

Research is beginning to move along. I am going to work on our paper, edit it down, and send it off to the Western Academy Meeting. Kevin and Kristine were agreeable and supportive so I decided to make the effort. I'm also finally going to collect the data on the email harassment project. Plus I am going to finish a bit more data collection for the technophobia project with Lois and we should be able to wrap that up by the end of the year. Between these projects, plus a few others on the burners, I think if they land I've got a good chance at tenure here which is great! It will be nice to not worry.

I like SIUE so far. I was involved in a meeting today regarding an award Enterprise Rent A Car wants to implement on campus. They wanted some of us involved with student groups (I'm the SHRM advisor) to help them come up with the award criteria. I think I was a big hit...the Dean liked my ideas and it looks like they'll be the framework for the award. It's nice to be appreciated!!

I have stuff to do to get ready for class on Monday so once the kids are done watching videos...YUP...they're watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in September...:hahaha: ...I'll get to work downstairs scanning stuff and putting them in my powerpoint for my Monday evening lecture.

The closing credits for the video are on the screen so I'm going to sign off to get them to bed at a reasonable hour. Violin lessons tomorrow in the morning plus I have to go to the postoffice tomorrow before that...sigh...

I love you so very much...I hope you can feel that...I hope this fog lifts soon so you can remember the love and connection we share. I'm patient...I'm not going anywhere. I can't wait to hear from you and hear how you are doing. I love you more than I ever imagined possible! Have sweet dreams my dear, I am holding you in my arms, as I do EVERY NIGHT!!! You are in my heart and my soul!!

XOXOXOXO
